The initial singularity of the big bag happened “everywhere” the whole universe was supposed to have infinite density.

If the density throughout all space was truly infinite, then the volume of space had to be ZERO. Otherwise the density would have been a very very large but finite number. And if it were infinite and non-zero volume, no amount of inflation would cause it to stop being infinite. Infinity divided by any positive number is infinity.
